I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson Performance Center 629-6 in 44 MAG. I intend to hunt pigs and deer with the weapon, and maybe coyote’s in the Nevada sage.
I’m guessing 100 yards will be my longest shots maybe 150 at the most.
My question is what power scope to buy? I am leaning towards a fixed 6x but some of my friends feel I’ll loose to much FOV.
I’ve never purposely hunted with a handgun before but my thinking is that it’s kind of the same as a guide rifle. You would see the target with both eyes as you brought the weapon up. Once in line with your dominant eye the target should be in the FOV allowing you to close the other eye and take careful aim.
Sound right or am I way off? If I’m nuts what scope power would you suggest?
Thanks,
Steve
